<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDuring the maintenance period, fighting chickens can experience problems with feathers. Some of the fur problems that often occur are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Hair loss due to moult<\/strong>
Chickens will shed their old feathers and replace them with new feathers during Moult about once every 3-6 months. The first Moult occurs when the chickens are about 19 months old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Hair loss due to inadequate nutrition<\/strong>
Insufficient amount or quality of protein and energy in the feed can lead to feather loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Hair loss due to fungal infection<\/strong>
Fungal infections on the combs and faces of fighting chickens can cause feather loss. This feather loss usually occurs on the top of the head, but it can also extend to the neck and wings. The skin around the area of hair loss will look dry, flaky, and thickened.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/HK2-467x350-1.webp\" "\\"\\"")

- Hair loss due to flea infection<\/strong>
Flea infection causes irritation of the skin, shedding and damage to the coat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Hair loss due to stress factors<\/strong>
An uncomfortable environment, including the noise and density of the cage, can cause stress that has an impact on the health of the fur.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n- \n
- Feather damage after a match<\/strong>
In adult chickens that have been competed, chickens that are often pitted must have feathers that have been severely damaged. The growth process of chicken feathers, especially on the wings of new feathers will grow with time 3-4 months so that it will interfere with the activity of chickens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.medion.co.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/HK3-467x350-1.webp\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMaintaining the health and cleanliness of chickens and providing good feed is very important to maintain the quality of feathers. Things that can be done to maintain the health and quality of fur include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Provide nutritionally balanced feed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A good feed will support the growth of healthy feathers. The feed given must be in accordance with the nutritional needs of chickens. The feed needs to be high in protein, minerals and vitamins to improve the physical condition of the chickens. If you pay attention to chickens that are undergoing molting, their muscles become weaker and sometimes weight loss occurs. Give additional foods rich in protein, such as insect larvae or boiled eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. Maintain the cleanliness of the cage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Make sure the cage is always clean and dry to prevent infection with diseases and parasites. Clean the cage and disinfect every day the entire cage with\u00a0Antisep<\/strong><\/a> or\u00a0Neo Antisep<\/strong><\/a>. Have regular checks to detect the presence of ticks or other parasites. Spray\u00a0Delatrin<\/strong><\/a> to cope with ectoparasites in the cage such as fleas, mites, flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n3. Comfortable enclosure environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Make sure the chicken conditions are comfortable and not stressed by maintaining the appropriate temperature, good air circulation, and sufficient cage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Treat sick chickens immediately<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the case of chickens infected with the fungus, quarantine or separate sick chickens so as not to infect other healthy chickens. Perform care and treatment on sick chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- In the case of mold, clean the chicken, especially on the face, comb, scalp and other infected parts slowly then dry. Give treatment with antifungal drugs, for example\u00a0Mycoraid<\/strong><\/a>. Apply on the infected part of the fungus, 2-3 times a day until it heals. Spray the cage environment daily with\u00a0Antisep<\/strong><\/a>.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- In the case of curses, give\u00a0Kututox<\/strong><\/a> in chickens, the floor of the cage, the sidelines and the walls of the cage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5. Provide supplements to improve the quality, strength and flexibility of the fur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For the growth of good quality fur and help increase strength, flexibility and shiny fur needs to be given supplements. Supplementation in chicks also works to optimize muscle building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, by providing\u00a0Furnitin<\/strong><\/a> every 3 days. From trial data on fighting chickens aged 4 months, with the provision of\u00a0Furnitin<\/strong><\/a> can increase the shiny level of wing feathers, rawis and back.\u00a0Furnitin<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0beneficial in meeting nutritional needs to maintain the health, flexibility, and strength of the fur and help it look healthy and shiny. By giving\u00a0Furnitin<\/strong><\/a> also increases muscle building in fighting cocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n6. Caring for Moult chickens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In general Moult chickens will experience physical weakness so that strenuous activity can be stopped. The chicken does not need to be done enough umbaran light activities to relax the muscles such as running or light gymnastics because Moult chicken will be a lot of silence. Be careful when handling chickens because chickens become more sensitive and feel pain when the fluff is growing. It should also be noted that in young feathers they should not be damaged, especially on the wings. Because the wing feathers will affect the blow, dexterity and agility of the chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the Moult period, the need for protein and multivitamins increases. Deficiency or imbalance of protein and multivitamin intake can result in losses in the molting period. To meet these needs, chickens need to get special supplements to accelerate the growth of feathers and dense body feathers again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n - In the case of curses, give\u00a0Kututox<\/strong><\/a> in chickens, the floor of the cage, the sidelines and the walls of the cage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- In the case of mold, clean the chicken, especially on the face, comb, scalp and other infected parts slowly then dry. Give treatment with antifungal drugs, for example\u00a0Mycoraid<\/strong><\/a>. Apply on the infected part of the fungus, 2-3 times a day until it heals. Spray the cage environment daily with\u00a0Antisep<\/strong><\/a>.
